- 77Riddles; Proverbs; Old SayingsAnyone born on Whit Sunday will either kill or be killedWhat sits on the balk like an eye in a hawk?
A Soot-drop.A Haw year is a braw year,
A sloe year is no yearRiddles are called GuessesAsking Riddles - Puttin' out GuessesWhat is it that which always goes with its head down?
A nail in your bootAsh buds before the oak is a year of soak.The soot falls down, the spider sleeps
The spider from her cobweb creeps.Last night the sun went pale to bed
The boding Shephard heaves a sign.For see a rainbow spans the sky
Loud quack the ducks, the peacocks cryThe distant hills are looking nigh
Close is the dark-eyed pimpernell.
